AISIN was presented with the “APA Approved Vendor Award” at the company’s shareholder conference held in Orlando, Florida, last week.

Larrow Kaufman, sales manager for AISIN Aftermarket, accepted the APA Approved Vendor Award on behalf of AISIN during the shareholder conference on March 8. The event was held at the Contemporary Hotel at Disney World.

“This is a special award for AISIN,” said Charles Pariano, senior manager of sales and marketing, AISIN North America Aftermarket. “APA was the first program group we conducted business with about 11 years ago, and they were also the first program group to present us with an award as well. It’s great to achieve success and be judged in our industry ­by our customers. We’ve been fortunate to receive multiple awards from APA over the years, and it’s always a surprise to be chosen. It is always a team effort.”
